copy_of_FrontPage

Welcome!

This is the front page of ZWiki's zwikidotorg wiki template. Here are the HelpPage, RecentChanges?, UserOptions?, AnnoyingQuote and contents.

You'll find additional Zwiki documentation at ZWiki:ZwikiDocs, including ZWiki:ReleaseNotes, ZWiki:KnownIssues and the ZWiki:ZwikiTracker. ZWiki:GeneralDiscussion and the #zope IRC channel are good places to get help.

Edit this page and replace it with something appropriate. Other things you may want to configure (or not):

• Permissions
  To view this wiki, users need View and Access content information permissions on the folder. To create new pages they need Add ZWiki Page permission; to upload files, Add Documents, Images, and Files. Permissions to add comments, edit, reparent etc. all begin with Zwiki: and appear at the end of the permissions list.
• Mail out (subscription)
  Set up a zope MailHost object and add a mail_from folder string property containing a valid From address. A "subscribe" link will appear in the page footer. You may want to add the ZWiki:MailHostFix to make Bcc work.
• Mail in
  You'll need to set up a special mail alias, a zope helper method, a default discussion page and mail_to/mail_replyto folder properties. Users will be able to reply to comments by mail. See ZWiki:WikiMail.
• External (client-side) editing
  Install the ZWiki:ExternalEditor zope product and make sure users have the Use external editor permission. EE's pencil icon will appear in the page footer. Users will probably be able to edit pages with their preferred editor after installing EE's client helper app.
• A bug tracker
  An issue tracking database integrated with the wiki. See ZWiki:HowToInstallAZwikiTracker
• A more featureful front page
  Eg showing latest comments from other pages. See ZWiki:FrontPage source for ideas
• Security
  If you allow untrusted users to edit your wiki, you should be aware of the server-side trojan issue. Unless carefully configured Zwiki may allow users to create content (eg DTML or javascript) which will be executed when viewed by others. For example, DTML code could delete other zope objects to which it has access (restricted to the lowest of the page owner and the page viewer's privileges). Tips: make the wiki folder's owner a low-privileged user, set the standard_page_type folder property to a non-DTML page type, remove or disable editing on any DTML-enabled pages, deny Zwiki: Change page types permission. Decide for yourself whether these steps are necessary, or keeping backups will suffice, or YAGNI applies.

Enjoy your wiki!
